SOC 1171 (68% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £50,300, and Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 2211 (Generalist medical practitioners). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
